That black bag thingy with tools in case i break down or get a puncture.. yeah can't think of it

[lukEp]

[Asad]

[Driver]

Tools that come with car, and a small ratchet, extention and 7mm incase i pop off a boost pipes also a screwdriver for same reason incase access with ratchet isnt adequite

tbh i never really had much hassle with them!! it was mainly as a precaution & not wanting to be stranded

bent a few pushrods from high revving lol never blown a headgasket so did'nt need that.

I suppose it would be handy to have and not a bad price.

i would'nt bother with that!!

keep an eye on lidl offers,they do car tools every now & then,you'l get most of that kit for less than a tenner!

[scot-ish]

i carry the halfords 200pc or 150 pc proffesional tool kit, there screw driver set, pliers, long nose aswell, wire cutter. the standard jack, a can of tireweld, and a little LED torch, i got used to carryin this in the 106 gti, and now i just carry it, wouldnt believe the amount of beers ive got for sorting mates out, get phone calls all the time lol

[Raz]

cock, i just remember i don't have a jack lol

[Asad]

Tbh i dont want some big fk off thing flying around in the boot....just something nice n simple

[Paul Sr]

StanDard jack, torch ,rachet socket ,short piece of 28mm copper as a lever bar lol, standard jacks are scary to use!!! How Does that tyre weld work?

[scot-ish]

aint used it before, but a few mates have, its just a get home thing, i have the spare wheel aswell, but bought it when i had the 106 and no spare, and still have it

tyre goes flat, just whack it in, away you go, like expandable foam, but makes a mess inside the rim.

my tools done fly about, fit in the boot nicely lol

[Paul Sr]

Yea so did mine until my strap thing broke!

All u need is a wheel and the gear to change it

[addz]

i keep the misses, just incase i need the bump start

Just a standard socket set.

[Nanglebadger]

OEM tool kit as provided by Jays Garage.

i rock the 150 piece halfords tool set, gets you out of the mess all the time, that a pair of pliers and some jump leads because the batterys shit lol. yes you can get a cheap shit one for a tenner but when u start rounding off bolts because the sockets fit like a dick in a dustbin u wont be best pleased, for 100 quid, u cant go wrong, every piece has a lifetime guarentee, its no snap on gear, but for the money its spot bollock

[Sparky]

Just used to have a pair of pliers and screw driver back in the day when I had to keep adjusting my actuator

Other than that there is a wheel brace under my seat but thats for other reasons

Tools = weight

[shorty]

got all my tools for work (electrician) plus axle stand and car jack lol just because its been in there since we sorted my mates car lol is always a screwdriver knocking around though. work tools are normaly in the works car (55 reg scooby estate, i love my boss)
